Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
While I will say, you need to have pretty good internet to play this, and some patience to get used to its controls and progression system; if you like these types of games and can stick with it for a little while - I bet you'll eventually see how much content has been built in, and how it is a pleasant and also surprising challenge...

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The art style is really nice and the dev team listens to suggestions/bug fixes on their discord pretty regularly.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
I'm really excited about chests and other better storage methods because inventory management can sometimes get a little hectic but over time you start to develop a good system or layout option for your camp.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It's really hard to get into a state where you can make progress on the civilization growth quests, so this feels really crummy and it's hard for me to get reinvested in the game after that.

Fun multiplayer game to play with friends.
